from texile :
the c-section comment sounds pretty reasonable and reusable to me...
from legalbeagle :
Try my usual answer: "Nope, Sara's the only one because I almost killed my self during post-partum depression, so I'd prefer her to grow up with a mother." Works like a charm!
from mommylap :
If she's farting, she not crying with a tight tum, so yay for the farting!
from legalbeagle :
dude I have one word for you - Photobucket! It's free!! That's how I do pix in my journal! I'm going to look at Maisie now...
from texile :
congratulations to all of you!!! and maisie is a beautiful name.
from mommylap :
Yay Maisie, yay you! You wrote about your labor so well too, I'm sorry it got so dramatic, but I am proud of you for handling it so well! Congratulations!
from legalbeagle :
When you are feeling absolutely at the end of your rope, know that the first three months are DEFINITELY the hardest!!! IT GETS SO WONDERFUL!!!! And, if you think it's wonderful NOW? Just wait...it gets BETTER and BETTER and BETTER and BETTER....YAY MAISIE!!!
from legalbeagle :
OH, hon, I so know what you are going through. I know it sucks ass. Hang in there!! The worst will be over soon, I promise.
from texile :
good luck! happy baby thoughts are headed your way from the east coast.
from texile :
my attempt to email your dland address is apparently "delayed," so: "shiner".
from texile :
thanks, I appreciate it.
from mommylap :
I still think that sensation is continuing growing pains, because dang the kid gets pretty huge right up until birth and then grows like crazy immediately following too! You seem really good about knowing the difference between mild discomfort and when something might be off and that's a terrific instinct.
from texile :
favorite story from my family: after i was born (or maybe while i was being born), my mom said a woman would have to be either stupid or crazy to do it more than once, and then promptly forgot ever saying such a thing, i guess because of the endorphins. so a year later when she told my dad she wanted to have another baby, he asked her if she were a) stupid or b) crazy, and she got pretty upset. i hope you're feeling better than you were.
from mommylap :
You aren't kidding. My favorite memory is the constantly having to pee part of pregnancy being combined with a nearly two-year old taking off in a run randomly. You can't speed behind a toddler pregnant and not pee your pants- at least I never could, and decided that Depends pads were the twice pregnant girl's friend. But how sad and pathetic is that? Pregnancy knows no shame...
from mommylap :
Wait until you see the pieces I got too! I couldn't remember any of the serving pieces Nana had, but her collection was amazing! It looks gorgeous in the china cabinet too. No grease bowl though, but it's something to add to it. Take care of your poor ass!
from mommylap :
it's the nesting urge dude. You're going to have a baby in a few weeks..trust me, I set up the crib and moved all the furniture around in Elizabeth's room 2 days before she was born.
from texile :
if i had done all that in one day, i would have gone to sleep at 9:30 too, and i'm not even pregnant.
from mommylap :
Hey since I was hauling big heavy plates as a server at Buca when I was pregnant, I had a lot of luck with the time-release Extra-strength Tylenol for back pain since at that time it Aceteminophen was the recommended pain killer since it was gentler on your stomach.
from legalbeagle :
Oh PHEW on the work shit. I was thinking about your stress yesterday. NOT FUN. I'm glad it's on the upswing today.
from mommylap :
You'll actually get to know your doula first! I had a midwife, but she was one of the group at HealthPartners and with each birth the midwife on staff was always a stranger to me, although I totally trusted their expertise and all my labors were terrific. You'll be happy with your doula once you decide, you really will.
from mommylap :
You mean nothing makes you look more CUTE than a maternity top. Cause true!
from legalbeagle :
That would happen to me when I was preggers, too. But best to get it checked out for sure!!
from mommylap :
Dude- I couldn't wait any longer for news and realized Moll wouldn't want to be sitting up after a C-section, and so I called and strong-armed the secretary at her firm. YAY BEAGLE! Yesterday was the birthday!!
from legalbeagle :
I had very few of those "I HAVE to have this NOW!" type cravings. One night, though, I *needed* Pepito's salsa. So I drove over there to get it. Of course, by the time I came home with it, I was too nauseated to eat it. Good times!
from legalbeagle :
My clothes fit until like 5 months, seriously. Then my stomach was just too big & I had to get pants w/the panel. Don't forget - Levi's now makes maternity jeans! They saved my cool-ness!
from texile :
congratulations!
from heinrich :
congrats!
from legalbeagle :
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from legalbeagle :
I am having a little dyslexia problem today. I read that as "my Lacoste-intolerant husband." DAMN THAT ALLIGATOR!!!
from legalbeagle :
holy crap, is he schizoid or something? Masturbating under blankets? Mark in Chicago?????
from heinrich :
oh, i'm so sorry for her, and for you. good luck, and hope everything works out.
from mommylap :
Dude, we'll make a date for pozole and karaoke revolution!! Just advise me if you'd rather have chicken or pork in the pozole, and it gives me an excuse to garnish with sliced radishes and avocado!!
from texile :
hear, hear on the paralegal issue.
from heinrich :
oh, wow! a real live public radio story! congrats!
from texile :
awesome. earth tones sounds cool, as does black. green would have the potential to look moldy.
from legalbeagle :
What the hell!? Were these people who were just married? Um...yeah, sometimes you don't LIKE your spouse at ALL! And you go, "What the hell did I do!?" but the love and respect carries you through those times. Nobody said it was gonna be easy & all lovey-dovey constantly. Life ain't an MGM musical!
from legalbeagle :
Okay, cool. It still took me like five minutes to figure it out cuz i couldn't see 'em. Blame it on hormones.
from texile :
and congratulations again! :)
from texile :
congratulations!
from mommylap :
The thing that gets me about her is that she seems most offended by Bush's treatment of HER disrespectfully( the whole calling her Mom bit and all), not really his treatment of her son while he was a living soldier.
from mommylap :
I'm all about the new template baby! I can't wait to start hearing about lawyers getting married!!!
from texile :
i am also doing bar/bri. family law is close to the last lecture, which at least gives me something to look forward to. the schedule says we're going to have a professor schechter for it. how's studying?
from thisendup :
it's hard when your work pals leave... you feel like everything is up in the air and then what do you do? hang in there, kitten.
from texile :
congratulations!
from heinrich :
kitties! hooray! (note that i just accidentally posted this in my own notes instead of yours. i think i need a nap.) but hooray for kitties!
from heinrich :
hey! did you just post that on ib? b/c i just read that on ib!
from texile :
that was probably a rhetorical question, but i don't think it's bad form to talk about your wedding. perhaps the wedding-industrial complex has given brides a bad name.
from mommylap :
Don't let the beagle hear you say crim. law is boring.....
from mommylap :
Oh yeah, you and the beagle are worried about the bar exam. I know that test-wise, it's a strange one apparently, but you two aces..c'mon.
from texile :
i also heart your dress. i am hard put to imagine anything more fabulous.
from mommylap :
That dress is SO YOU! And it's so nice that it's actually a situation where it's easier,cheaper,more perfect than having it made for you. (and for your mom!) I love it!
from pornoviolent :
why hello there
from texile :
congratulations! what a great job!
from mommylap :
Hey- as long as you weren't lying about anything that you said wasn't working in the relationship I think you should feel okay- you weren't being malicious. You've offered your help afterwards also, so really just keep being an honest good friend. Don't beat yourself up.
from texile :
i would like to express my wholehearted support of continued wedding planning posts.
from legalbeagle :
Some of us alkies *could* drink y'all under the table if we chose to do so. Maybe she's not Irish enough. We full-blooded drunks have no limits.
from trinity63 :
I saw you came to my journal! You are a law student!!! Oh gosh would you help me out in my business law class and I will make you cookies and send them to you ??? OH PLEASE!! I am so drowning!!!! I am SO not a lawyer!
from legalbeagle :
I'm intrigued, you ass! Now you HAVE to tell the story.
from texile :
congratulations! and that's the best proposal ever.
from mommylap :
Jeez nothing sucks like bad car stuff girl. I feel for you bigtime. Everytime I was sorry I had no time/money for fringe, I thought "but Leah is going!" and that was consolation somehow. Which is cool.
from texile :
whoo! congratulations!
from texile :
nothing sucks like that, indeed. get well soon.
from legalbeagle :
dude, what? You "make" them do AC's? I am imagining you with a whip and tall, leather, lace-up boots, "YOO! VILL! USE! DA! BLUE! BOOK!"
from texile :
congratulations!
from legalbeagle :
I will help you move!! (Remember: "Good friends help you move. Really good friends help you move bodies.") I fully support firing your landlord and getting some equity under your belt, girlfriend!
from mommylap :
OMG I am laughing with the landlord stuff! I am going to start curtsying whenever I ask someone for something. It occurs to me that these LL don't sound like they should have throw their $$ to file the UD, and that they'll just end up with a loss. I always wonder (since I have seen so many late rent situations resolved w/o UDs filed) if they are rashly filed thinking that it's like paying $200 to file a down payment on more money..
from mom-on-roof :
It had to be said, thanks for saying it so well!
from legalbeagle :
Yeah...but Reagan WAS Irish! AYE!
from legalbeagle :
You are sad because you are envisioning the upcoming Volume 31 and it's Nazi rule... You just need a facial and it will all be better!
from legalbeagle :
Levi's? LEVI'S!!!!???? HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!! I AM SO FREAKIN' EXCITED!!!!!
from citizenjane :
Vaguely similar. A Law Guardian is a lawyer representing children. At least in New York. Specifically I represent children two types of cases. In child protective proceedings, I am a third lawyer (one for the city, one for the parents). I also defend them in juvenile delinquency, which is like being a public defender. The name is different in some states.
from thisendup :
hang in there. no matter how bad everything looks isn't there someone always telling you that it will get better? that it could possibly be worse? well it could!!! keep on rollin'.
from thisendup :
i honestly don't know what life would be like without a jackass for a supervisor... it's practically the norm. at least you spun it with some humor. high-five!
from thisendup :
presentations always go better than we think they will. i rarely remember any of the presentations i have seen in my life unless someone really stank and you just aren't capable of that kind of stink... best of luck!
from thisendup :
i feel like i have couch potato printed on my ass today... i'm glad someone is getting on with the program. i'll never tell anyone about the walmart bit either.
from thisendup :
sorry about the dean campaign but a big high-five on the rest of your success this week!
from texile :
yay! congrats on the job!
from heinrich :
HOORAY!!!!
from thisendup :
i got stock for valentine's day and it's the most romantic gift i have ever received.
from thisendup :
YESSSIRREEEEEE BOB!!!!! CONGRATS!
from heinrich :
hooray! congrats!
from texile :
congratulations!
from legalbeagle :
When I was picked to be my nephew, Gil's, godmother, my present to him was the DVD of "Jesus Christ Superstar." He rocked out.
from texile :
good luck with the interview!
from mommylap :
whoo hoo! I feel the celebratory sushi approaching!
from heinrich :
congrats on the interview! good luck!
from mommylap :
You can imagine how "EW" it was for me! Half a molar just gone- but no pain. I am just thinking "what the f@ck?!"
from thisendup :
i just saw that mommylap can talk me into going anywhere... she's right. i'm down for sushi! i think that lap may be awol with her cold still because she's not here.
from legalbeagle :
DUDE!!! YA FUCKIN' HIPPIE! I totally saw you on the news tonight!! Right in the middle of dinner & I started screaming, "LEAH! LEAH!" and pointing at the t.v. Jon just blinked. He's used to my freakish outbursts.
from mommylap :
Okay then! Maybe when you get all your good news in February we can meet and go out for Sushi and celebrate! I never have occasion to go out to the hip spots, but I love sushi and I can talk thisendup into going anywhere. Let me know if you are game...
from heinrich :
good luck w/ the job apps -- i'm quite sure you'll get lots of offers.
from mommylap :
Oh the bank people don't call. None of my creditors have my phone number at all. The problem with the daycare bill/debt is that they failed to bill it to the county, and they still can, and continued to fail to do so. I think the one lady in accounting just freaked out when she saw I was pregnant and decided that she could wash her hands of the situation by selling it to a collection agency. Obviously the agency realizes from our conversation last night, that if it went to court the whole thing would be in my favor. I never thought about hardship, I bet I still qualify for that. I was planning on being a grown up and calling my student loan service by the end of the week too. That's great advice, thank you!
from legalbeagle :
I snorted with laughter (right into my coffee) at today's reality t.v. entry! I concur, counsellor! My problem, though, is all the good shit on Discovery, Food & Travel channels...gaaaaa...
from heinrich :
i know, i know. i shouldn't complain. i am very pleased. i just wish they'd given me more than a day to decide. :)
from mommylap :
That's her Kurt Cobain rock star picture. She's a cutie. When she's mad, however, she will say that you are a "loser,dummy, ugly, fatso" at the drop of the hat -which is a little disturbing. Not behavior she got from me, and it would only be the rashness from her dad. We are constantly lecturing her on respect recently. At least the insults just amuse me.
from thisendup :
i'm sadly the laziest left-winger ever. however, your little stand on the soapbox has inspired me to do a little research. i am dropping a line in the hopes that this means something to you and that you will hop back on your soapbox whenever the feelings right.
from heinrich :
congrats on being done!
from mommylap :
Great new template! Orange has always been my favorite color. Good luck with finals and Happy Holidays!
from legalbeagle :
holy crap...when I saw the note from heinrich below, I thought it said HEIDENREICH!!! GAAAA!! I LOVE the new template!! The fish is soothing!!
from texile :
good luck on the exam! the fish rocks.
from heinrich :
good luck! i like the new template.
from thisendup :
i am just silly enough to miss snow at the moment. i'm already feeling better & appreciate the note, babe.
from thisendup :
thanks for the note, sweetie. you know, i do update a hell of a lot. i'm real talkative in person & i'm real talkative online...
from onthebike :
Dude, I SO clean the keyboard to pass the time. Except I don't straighten out a paperclip. I take a post it and fold it so there's a point in the middle of the sticky-side of the square, with the sticky side out. See, I've put way way WAY too much thought into this.
from onthebike :
Thanks for the note, dearie! You'll never guess what A got me for the anniversary: season tix to a theater co. here! We just got back from one of the shows tonight. I HIGHLY recommend this as an anniversary gift--it's like seven guaranteed grown-up future dates.
from texile :
thanks for the much-needed validation :) it's all done now, thank god, and i'm finding out that i somehow just got caught in the crossfire of editorial board politics. have fun trick-or-treating!
from onthebike :
Oh, and I TOTALLY want an arch-enemy named The Sack! This is hilarious!
from onthebike :
Thanks for the congrats, baby! Scratch one item off my panic list... 7 days left!
from thisendup :
i wish that i didn't feel so close to you after i read about the jeans excursion from hell. but i do. if it weren't for mommylap i'd be runnin' around naked (or just wearing whatever hadn't completely fallen apart) i know that jeans for men have always covered my rear (pun if you want to) and i have founded a pair or two at target, if shopping discount is up your alley. i loved many other things about your diary but felt that perhaps this would be the most helpful thing to note on, there... i've said my peace.
from mommylap :
How lucky are you to have a fella who loves Jane Austen?! I am totally jealous. I too, wonder how P & P can adequately be done in a 2 hr time frame. I really loved the A&E version but that was a mini-series..lol. Good to see you meeting the school year with such verve! I've had my beta for over a year. They are reassuring to have around and super low-maintenance. I named mine after a soap villian who you always think died, but comes back.
from sbspsd :
Thanks for mentioning us in your diary. We are glad you took our advice. We have to agree, your template looks lots better! Well, your reviewer is still reading your diary, so it'll take a while for your full review to be posted but we can assure you it'll be worth the wait!
from missused :
Your review is ready at Rare Silk!
from raresilk :
Hi there, I've sent a mail to Leslie, and hopefully those reviewers might get on and do some more reviews. In the meantime, I'll wait til I hear back from Leslie before I reassign, maybe Sasha will do more reviews before then.
from sbspsd :
this is an invitation to be reviewed by sepia reviews. (our review site is located at: http://sbspsd.diaryland.com) request in our notes section after reading the rules and scoring and remember to include the catch-phrase and the word "INVITE". Invited guests have a priority on the pending list. cheers!

from iustitia :
I'm seriously looking forward to it.
from legalbeagle :
Someday you will be a big, important attorney and not have to deal with CUBICLE SHIT!!! And I won't have to 3-hole punch anything EVER AGAIN!!!
from caspia :
Hey fellow Minnesotan! If you're a fan of the Wild, or love the Twins, please join the Wild, or Twins-fan diaryrings. Let everyone know we support them. Thanks and have a great day.
from legalbeagle :
legalbeagle is IN DA HOUSE!!!! Okay, I have no entries, but I'm workin' on it, I'm workin' on it! Let's start a Heidenreich ring...
from squirrelx :
Thanks for tellin' me about the 'Van Helsing' movie! I'll be lookin' forward to it. In my opinion, Dr. Van Helsing was as interesting a character as Dracula himself, and Bram Stoker didn't provide much background on him. Here's hopin' Hollywood does a good job of fillin' in the gaps. Best, Xtine P.S.: congratulations on your move!
from heinrich :
congrats!
from iustitia :
thanks!! good luck on your finals, but I'm sure you'll do well. :)
from heinrich :
congrats! one more exam and a paper for me.
from heinrich :
congrats on the oral arguments! (btw, i like your journal.)
